Rate My Professor Shuqun Zhang

Shuqun Zhang is a Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Computer Science at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. He also holds a position as a PhD faculty member at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Zhang received his BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from Xiamen University in China, followed by a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Dayton in 1999. Between 2003 and 2006, he served as a visiting faculty research fellow at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, during the summer periods. His office is located in Building 1N, Room 204 (or 210 per some records), and he contributes to the Division of Science and Technology.

Professor Zhang's research specializations include image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, digital holography, optical information processing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. He has produced a substantial body of peer-reviewed publications addressing advancements in these areas. Selected key publications are: "A new estimation method for two-step-only quadrature phase-shifting digital holography" (Optics Communications, 2015); "Digital hologram resolution enhancement using a fast reconstruction algorithm" (Optics Communications, 2014); "Real time soft-partition-based weighted sum filtering with GPU acceleration" (Proceedings of SPIE, 2014); "Extraction of Direction Vector for Gradient and Direction Vector Flow Active Contours" (IEEE International Conference on Computer Science and Automation Engineering, 2013); "Bidirectional Evolution of Morphological Level Set for Fast Image Segmentation" (World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2011); "Gradient vector flow active contours with prior directional information" (Pattern Recognition Letters, 2010); "Anisotropic virtual electric field for active contours" (Pattern Recognition Letters, 2008); "Application of super-resolution image reconstruction to digital holography" (EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, 2006); "A non-iterative method for phase-shift estimation and wave-front reconstruction in phase-shifting digital holography" (Optics Communications, 2006); "Illumination-invariant pattern recognition with joint-transform correlation" (Applied Optics, 1999); and "Preprocessing and compression of digital holographic images" (Proceedings of SPIE, 2005). These works appear in respected journals and conference proceedings such as IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Journal of Electronic Imaging, and SPIE volumes, focusing on holographic enhancement, object tracking, image segmentation, and robust recognition techniques.
